In this episode, we explore how your information is being provided to debt consolidation companies.  Some use this information to extend an offer of credit.  But is it really an offer of credit?  Many times it's nothing more than an attempt to lock the consumer into a debt consolidation plan.  Special guest, Jeremy Heck of Luftman, Heck and Associates joins us to expose the mechanisms utilized by many in the industry to mislead consumers resulting in even greater financial ruin.  Don't be fooled by offers of credit that land in your mailbox in the form of pre-approvals and phony checks for substantial loans with unrealistically low interest rates.
